[Vodoley1951]

Claasss!!!!

[Lieu3C4]

Was that "Rod Stewart" a woman in drag? And did - 4:43 - Aretha think she had been a fool when alll she was was cool?? How hard are words, like the hand, a tool?

[MultiCgp]

Looked like a hell of a great concert, Aretha Franklin was/is huge!

[CyprusHot]

Aretha, sing!

[xxxFeelTheBluesxxx]

[TT1478]

Does anyone have the continuation of this whole performance or video?

[rogerxiongisking]

[lilbluehersheykiss]

the terrible tragedy of peter pan.

[mannytanny123]

i wish they made more music like this

[adamweishaupt81]

Music supertalent overkill there on stage.

[oooowwwwdddd]

Sorry Aretha but this performance is lame nothing like the original studio version.

[JDrezner]

This event deserves a rating beyond the Universal- hey.

JD

I will forever and ever and evr CHERISH it...

Swissshhhhhhhhh.

Jesssssssssssssssss

[welten17]

Nothin like the power of pure "soul"!!!!!!!!!!!

[deeway1963]

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF SOUL...ARETHA FRANKLIN!

[Iamonad]

Who's that nicely, proportioned woman pretending to Aretha Franklin?!!

[diego77103]

tank!!!

[traboe]

why she took the song down so much? dnt like that

[TheLostmermaid]

Soetoro's Inaugeration theme song

[energgetic]

awesome!!!

[ShangoJamal]

The three of them in the background has me craking the heck up; especially watching them try to find rhythm and choreography in the beginning. LOLOLOL!

[RodStewartfan1]

Rod is the best! Stop dissing him! He was awesome!!

[leveller0000]

Brit faggots? U lot wudnt hav had half the music u hav unless we showed u how it was done

[ThalitaGonzaga]

nossa q show

[dancekillar]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ytertyu]

what are those 2 Brit faggots doing there ??? they should be screwing each other instead singing with Aretha and Smokey

[SinclairisCool]

@ytertyu

Brit Faggots? Rod Stewart is Straight.

Don't get me wrong, i love American Music (Motown, Aretha e.t.c)

But you are just stupid. Besides what does it matter to you? You live in Thailand.

[ytertyu]

@SinclairisCool you live in land of faggots , u buttfucked homo ..and ,seems like u never been out of your shitty village ..Thailand is full of white guys , like me , coming all over the world , coz here life is good ..btw, britain is no great anymore, wake up and smell the shit , u cocksucker ..lol

[SinclairisCool]

@ytertyu

I ain't no homo. I don't live in a land a faggots. What has Thailand being "full of white guys like you" got to do with anything you tard. Oh yeah, i am white as well you racist fuck.

[ytertyu]

@SinclairisCool you were the one thought himself superior to others , u shithead , trying to dismiss Thailand ..rod is fag ,same as u ..look his hair ,,and dancing with another queer , elton .. enjoy it .. hahaha

[SinclairisCool]

@ytertyu I ain't trying to make myself out as being "superior to others"

I don't need to. And I ain't no homosexual. Did you know, people who call other people gay and more often than not trying to hid there own true sexuality? Rod is not gay, sorry to burst your bubble. His hair was in style for the time and just because he is dancing with Elton does not make him gay.

[redwalls76]

I am not understanding your reply to what I said about these artisits that performed with Aretha Franklin

[redwalls76]

I think it is just super that these artiists can perform so well. They all are singers and musicans in their own rights. RIGHT ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrevisMr]

опять пидарасам дали кокаин!

[Monk3597]

Love the way Smokey moves. Aretha and Smokey are friends for real the other two, maybe popular in their own right but they did not belong on stage trying to sing with the Great Smokey Robinson and the Queen of Soul. That didn't even look right.

[fightinfarrell]

The Queen of Soul

[hussnfussel]

@fightinfarrell who elton john lol

[bettinakitty]

ah lololllllllllll ... elton john as ma bish. yeaaeeyeaaaeeeyeeaaaeaaa

[datcrazycygnet]

[smart0339]

[80Perkele]

OMG i never saw this before it looks hilarious....Elton john was like -2Okg....lol...great song.....!

[theycallmenavid]

elton looks bombed haha

[1divahead]

Smokey always looks good and sings beautifully...I seen him many times in person and I never, ever, seen him really dance....he just always moves from side to side...but that's good enough for ME! HOT, VERY HOT THAT MAN!!!

[tbcman]

She said that to him because he is closest to her, and they grew up together in Detroit.

[Jagwar4848]

wisecracker12--why are u being so meanspirited

[MiniHup]

[singersongwriter96]

[jelissajaconiworld]

[seeksmedia]

Is this heaven? Sure seems like it to me!

[MissyHolland]

They were trying to do that whole slick Temptations dance moves thing. Stewart looks like a cute geek in the glasses.

[husohusic]

[lynnbatten07]

3Men-Wtf ?! Ya'll suck...

[THESUPERGIRLIE]

Damn! I wish I had that kind of a powerful voice... :(

[montgomc]

[ddtaurus22]

Amen to that...somebody thought they didn't need to go to rehearsal lol

[brownsugar1173]

LMAO thats the same t hing I thought when I saw it,it was funny!

[Rundas1234]

[KRISsYdiVa]

U can never ever find legendary singers becoming back ups!!! only aretha can do this... praise the queen.. go aretha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alicetheactress]

this is an awesome clip! aretha is sooo pretty and she used to be hot! wheredid all the excess wight come from?

[TheRealAngelHeart]

She had just started putting on weight again at that time, after she quit smoking in 92.

[51362879]

LOL!

Smokey looks like he'd doing Vegas, Stewart looks like he just came from a shopping spree at Goodwill, and Sir John looks gay as Liberace's underwear.

[ljayzz]

You are too funny and you are absolutely right!

[helenapwf]

You are too funny and you are absolutely right (2)

[oneloveatatime]

I love this, thanks for posting!

[RRydnew]

Hell of a background singers! Smokey, Rod and Dame Elton. Go Aretha!

[51362879]

"Dame Elton"

LOL!

[divinejulia]

What happened to aretha... she looks so unhealthy now. I really wish that she could make an amazing come back but she is still the queen

[thompsont908]

she quit smoking. But thank God she is loosing weight.

[bumpa001]

Couldn't she find a better backup group? (Awesome!)

[sweetnezgyal]

LMAAAAAAAO @ ELTON

bless the poof lol

[joko9395]

Elton was gittin it wasn't he. LMBAO!

[francescaemc2]

wait a minute, I don't get to hear Dustin Hoffman sing with Aretha? bummer!!!

[arethaluv4eva]

She speaks so eloquently, Fab , Timeless

[Rowanjamescarreira]

i think aretha has got better with age

[estrellaeliza]

chain of fools .... great video .... very nice voices ....

[s146862]

that girl can sing'

[chariotride]

thanks for the upload

[Mikizzle14]

Elton please do us ALL a favor, stay behind ur piano because u have no rhythm!!!

[imtheeviltwin]

lol aww, poor Elton. XD

[caramelgirl619]

hahahaaa, what in the HELL was that intro dance step? now there is no question smoky does NOT belong to the black community. haha, gotta love it!

[Dogevpr2]

Accomplished as Rod,Smoky and the dancing fool are, they CHOSE to sing backup to Aretha...nobody's upstaging anybody.

[ete4]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the beginning of the end for Ms. Aretha. How can you possibly TALK the line, "my doctor said take it easy," like she did here? It's a real shame. I think Aretha burned so brightly in her early career that she just didn't have anything left by the time she reached this point. I'll treasure the early recordings/clips, though.

[mrduragss]

Nice to hear someone has aired an opinion rather than following a crowd.

[CelineDivaDion]

I thought Divas '98 was a good version :)

[MimiDove9]

YUK! Elton John can't dance at all....ah..but Aretha and Smokey...es execellent!!!!

[moed51]

TOTAL disrepect for the queen . I can see why your momma named you deadhead , the best part of your brain ran down her leg you dumbass .

[thatway302]

This is too funny...The guys are cute but too funny....Smokey, Rod and Elton seem to be enjoying themselves...They sound great too and Aretha...The four of them should've all done a skit together though, while they sang not seperate.

[Jorgedelfuego2]

She is a DIVA all the day, original... THE BEST!

SIMPLY THE QUEEN!!!

ARETHA EU TE AMOOOOOOOOOO!!!

VOCÊ É MARAVILHOSA!!!

You're wonderfull!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Jorge Félix - Recife, Pernambuco - BRASIL

[DrCecil04]

Only the true Queen of soul could make the KING of MOTOWN (Smokey Robinson) sing backup

[handvsis]

GOT THAT RIGHT! Say it again! The TRUE QUEEN of SOUL!

[igster941]

her outfit is AMAZING

[kuuyu24]

elton is just like electrified at his moves.. :)) so funny.. the 2 other man, rod stewart, and what's the anme of the other guy? anyway.. are funny too.. :))

[Tyrell667]

The "other guy" is Motown legend, Smokey Robinson!!

[MissPeabody23]

Who's the other guy???? You're a moron.

[WolfBlaze]

:o YOU DONT KNOW SMOKEY ROBINSON??!!! WTH??

[SoulSir]

Aretha and her male disiples bringing down the roof as only she can do along with any one else on stage with her.

[wastedonnumptyslikey]

[clueless102]

[oneloveatatime]

Gladys Knight and the Pips eat your hearts out.........Just kidding, I love the Gladys & the Pips and I love Aretha and these guys ........OneLovetoo............­......OneLove

[ButterflyStewart]

This is some funny stuff...I mean they all are singing great, but Elton's dancing etc is hilarious fun.

[breakdown13]

she looks good here

[pudljumper]

lol. i love elton john but he just shouldn't dance!

[RodeRash]

I dance like Elton. I am straight. Good thing I am wealthy......?

[mikeylicious2007]

No offence, if you dance like Elton that means ur gay. Maybe you didn't notice that ur gay. There's nothing wrong for being gay.

[reginaldkenneth47]

Elton look funny but lovely, man!!!

[Ameenah1]

the dancing lol hahaha lol the dancing.

[1stdannunu]

elton dancing is the most hilarious fing i eva saw

[shuggy1110]

Dyn-o-mite!!!

[clintyeomans]

elton may have looked like an idiot but he has a very deep pockets from vegas and way more hits than any of these other idiots on stage...lol

[MsChissa]

the Queen and her court

[Sevyssoul]

I love Elton...but he really shouldn't dance. LoL

[EmpressMahalia]

the guys look like fools....... lol

[paul51]

This could have been so cool; smokey, rod & elton looked the fools, should have had their act together. Look like idiots.

[pareltjes]

joahanna  is better!!

[JDawgZGO44]

10 are sleeping

9 are playing

1 is reading this

put this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love.!!

[nygrrl99]

it's aretha franklin and friends and aretha doesn't have to do a thing to make a song groove, she is "soul". much respect to the queen and thanks for the video.

[zirconia7]

why everybody sound like a chicken when performing next to Aretha ? I am she didn't even perform at 10% of what she can, its like she doesn't want to make the 3 guys look even smaller !

[Kahayes11368]

what the hell was Sir Elton John doing?

[branchwater7]

Here is Aretha positively throwing down and taking Smokey with her. Go 'head, Ree!!! Take care of business.

[ramiakin]

She doesn't remember the Queen of Soul, huh? That was wretched, ReeRee!!!! But we still love you.

[misswham]

boring she didnt do anything with this song

[justdavon]

Aretha may have tuned it down so she didn't up stage Smokey, Elton and Rod.

[ZebFAN06]

Aretha holds back in her performances with Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, and Luther Vandross.

[justdavon]

I agree it's a respect issue, she has nothing to prove.
